Goethe-Institut Libanon introduced an IDEAS BOX in 2017 to support displaced and marginalised children and young people who have limited or no access to libraries or other sources of informal education.

The BibBus, provided by the Goethe-Institut Lebanon, brings books, games, and entertainment to refugee children and adolescents in Lebanon to stir their creativity and imagination and to provide them with sustainable access to education.

Syrian artists need support, especially in exile. Therefore the Goethe-Institut Lebanon is cooperating the Syrian organisation Ettijahat – Independent Culture and providing cultural grants for artists.

Football inspires children and adolescents worldwide and can also playfully impart values such as tolerance, respect and fair play. 

The project shines a light on the history of German-Lebanese interactions and shows that encounters between Lebanese and German people are part of a shared past.

German books translated into Arabic. Information and background information about authors, publishers, translators and book market.

In 2016, the Goethe-Institut Lebanon opened a music school to sponsor and support musical training for talented Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian children and adolescents in Lebanon. 

As part of the “My book – my teacher” project, over 24,500 books are to be handed out for free to refugee children, allowing them to partake in literature and thereby kindling the joy of reading.
